Matt, I have a copy of the instructional/operational manual from my histobath that we purchased in 1994 from Shandon-Lipshaw. The specifications for its lowest temperature is -60C. The liquid that is used is 2-methylbutane (isopentane). I can fax you a copy if it would help. Lynette Lynette

[Histonet] Histobath part 2

2010-04-05 Thread Matthew Mincer
I forgot to mention, this Histobath I am talking about is the one with a refrigerated tank. You fill the tank with a liquid (I forget what the chemical is) and use it to quick-freeze tissue to be cut in a cryostat. Peace Matt -- Matthew Mincer Tech One Biomedical Service 159 N Marion Street PM
